Red Dead Redemption - anyone playing ?

You don't need to do laps in snow to build up stamina, it just increases as the game goes on, same with the horse bonding.

I've not had any bother with keeping the food stocks up in camp either, it doesn't take a lot of time, I find a couple of rabbits will do it.

I wish you could just save it though, that is one thing that does my head in at times.

Oh and as for the gold bar cheat, I didn't do it and I've now got about $900 on my person and the camp has about $300

The snow start was miserable . But I mean build stamina up at start just running around before you get to harder parts and more of story. I had level 4 before first ride to town. The never ending tiers in character stats takes some serious getting use to. Just too much to follow .

Don't worry too much about the stats, just try to keep your cores full.

You can increase them with repetition but I haven't run into much trouble.

My guy is always underweight. Just kill a few things and cook them.

Practice using dead eye, it is a blessing. Also duels take a bit of getting used to. Press right trigger to fill meter, the fuller the better, then press r2 again to draw. If meter is full you should be aiming almost perfect. Then r2 again to fire. Don't forget the 3rd press.

You can replace your hat from the horse menu.

F-ck some of these challenges are hard.

Anyone taking extra pics with the camera? I got a nice snap with myself standing over a lion. Don't think it does anything but looked pretty cool.

A quick tip for some of the newer players. Draw and holster your weapon by tapping L1. Once to draw, then again to holster.

Didn’t know the l1 thing or the r2 x 3 thing.

That’s my fault for playing as a nice guy and avoiding shootouts

Cheers

Yea at the beginning I was using the wheel to select my fist, L1 to holster its much easier.

First duel I had the other guy fell down drunk, so I just looted him.

I managed to get a couple of perfect rabbit pelts, need to craft arrows that won't damage the pelt. Wish I knew that before I murdered 100s of rabbits.

Thanks for that Alpha. I've been using the cluster rt-lf wheel and somehow ended up eating crackers while getting shot up. One touch much better. On the plus side my guy learned how to 'drift a horse and get an entire town to shame him as he rides by for no reason what so ever. Why are so many people just asking for a gunfight. One bad thing is riding your horse named Tacos too far into the camp and he gets 'stuck' in a tent so you cannot lasso, lead or ride out.

Drift a horse??

My horse is called Jim Bowen.

I tried to call it Twat but the game doesn't allow

[Mark TKO]

and why is no one asking me for a gun fight ??

Or use the varmint rifle

For the bigger animals lasso then and just walk over and slit their throat, perfect pelts every time

I've gotten carriages stuck and can't go backwards.

I shot someone in the town in error. I then had to go on a shooting spree becoming a serial killer. My horse got killed, got a new one but I can’t find camp. I feel bad about all the townspeople I shot. Now everyone is after me
